The following are the lyrics to “Amazing Grace” first published in 1779, a praise song written by John Newton, a former slave ship captain who heard God's Word. He was a self-proclaimed wretch who once was lost but then was found, saved by God's Amazing Grace. And, we too were lost but, Thank God, we were found and saved by God's Amazing Grace – Hallelujah!
AMAZING GRACE LYRICS
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
